Thanks you gents
Great small Eindecker with a fine prop!
Fine metal struts add scale and strengh, well most of the time if Murphy is not around.
The turnbuckles look absolutely scale, as do the wires. What did you use for them?
The brown might be the German PC 12.
Greetings Joachim
1.1lb monoflimanet for the rigging Joachim with paint for the turnbuckles. (Murphy usually gets involved at some point during the build)
Lovely littel Eindekker. I too like the idea of using paint to represent turnbuckles in this scale.

Cheers Stephen
Simply gorgeous Paul! I love the color, the restrained weathering, and the base really sets it off nicely. Too bad about the turned metal effect not working out. I want to do one of these one day to go with a beautiful Budecke figure I have.

Thanks Warren
I think they always look better with a base to finish them off (although you can't then see the undersides) Bit of a PITA about the turned effect, although you can still see it if you look closely . . . .
That's really lovely, I initially thought it was 1/32! Lovely job Paul!
Ha, ha Zac. Had you going for a moment. Glad you like it
Nicely done! I am currently building one. Thanks for sharing.
Major drawback of the design as a model (apart from all the struts and wires
) is the wing fixing because any strengthening rods will appear in the cockpit. The wings worked loose on this one because I kept holding it by them when I was adding the undercarriage and weathering so they had to be removed and glued on again. I think adding a tiniest suggestion of dihedral helps avoid 'sagging wing syndrome'. If they are set absolutely level they can look like they are drooping a bit
Very well done!
Andreas
Appreciate it Andrea
